1.1.1        Introduction

Sponge Cake (not to be confused with a Butter Sponge Cake or Genoise) is sometimes used to refer to the whole category of foam or unshortened cakes, but it is rather a type of cake in itself. A Sponge cake is wonderfully versatile, and can be found with a multitude of recipes. Sponge cakes are leavened by whipping separated yolks and whites with sugar, resulting in air bubbles being trapped in its mixture.
